oops. Okay, Carl, I'll check this out after I put the kids to bed. :-)
thanks for the note. shouldn't be too hard to work out. I probably
just have a typo or a stray comma or something.
Cheers,
--Karl

Also, fyi, the insertAfter method spec'd in the plugin doesn't seem to
play nice in Safari 3.1. But the other choice you mention in the
comments, appendTo, works just fine.
Best,

sorry, but I'm changing the name from summarizer (with an r) to
summarize. Seems to make more sense as a verb. so now you can find

sounds like a reasonable thing to want, so I just whipped up a new
plugin for you:

Please keep in mind that it hasn't been tested extensively, and the
documentation is kind of spotty, but it shouldn't be too hard to
figure out how it works.
One important thing to note is that your selector should be the
parent element of the elements you want to expand/collapse.

I am looking to add an expander/truncator feature to a site I'm
building. However, the plugins and other code snippets I've
found cut
off text based on character count. What I'm looking for is
something
that cuts off based on a specific number of paragraphs. So, for
example, inside a targeted div, after the second <p> it would hide
all
remaining <p>s, and insert a "read more" link. Clicking would
expose
the hidden elements and add a "read less" link.
I haven't been able to figure out a way to do this... Can anyone
point
me in the right direction? I've posted an example page here:
http://www.cement-site.com/truncator/example.shtml
It's making use of the truncator plugin found here:
http://henrik.nyh.se/2008/02/jquery-html-truncate
(I've also tried Karl Swedberg's Expander plugin, but it doesn't
seem
appropriate in this case since it's not intended to truncate/
expand
across multiple block-level elements.)
Can this truncator plugin code be modified to count <p>s rather
than
characters? Or is there a simpler/better way to accomplish this?
Thanks!
